I usually check the tires immediately and when I get home let the car idle in the driveway for 15 min to let the batter charge up. Throw it on the trickle charger for a day. Ready to go. I do a visual inspection too, just to make sure no critters of any kind made a home. thats about it.

alright. i just wasn't sure if it was a good idea to change my oil before i took it out. i have been pretty good of starting it every three of four weeks, so i was pretty sure it would be fine until saterday when i can change my oil.

I was told never to put your car away with a pretty frest oil change. Its better to add a little if you are low. Yeah if you want change it, I know Ill change mine when I take it out. Your lucky, my TA hasnt been cranked since Nov. Good luck.
